The Premier League is in a weird spot, and it's a particular kind of weirdness that could make this one of the most active summers of transfers in a long time.
Let's take the season's major success story: Liverpool won the league but also have a bunch of money to spend and a team full of peak-age players whom they'd be happy to move on for the right offer. They also need to replace arguably the best attacking fullback the sport has ever seen.
Then, among the rest of the so-called "Big Six (Plus Newcastle)" -- the clubs with the deepest pockets in the league -- almost everyone else had a disappointing season.
